Philco 22d5102

I would second the idea of starting with a mid-50's b/w set. A Philco would make a good candidate as it would be at least somewhat like this TV123, but most anything from that era would do just fine.

I have one and it's a monster, in size...and to work on! These are also rather valuable, as old TV's go. I held off buying one for years, hoping to stumble upon one like you did, but finally paid out good money. You could likely make quite a trade with somebody, if that was what you wanted to do.
